Who is Alexis Davis?

It's likely we've all heard of MMA fighter Ronda Rousey, the current UFC bantamweight champion. Her next opponent Alexis Davis, not so much.

Davis and Rousey will meet July 5 in Las Vegas at UFC 175. Davis is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Japanese Jiu Jitsu and is 16-5 in MMA bouts. She hails from Canada and has won four fights in a row.

Her last fight was against Liz Carmouche on November 6, one she won via unanimous decision. Carmouche lost to Rousey earlier in 2013 via armbar. The highlights from that fight are below:
